When input ignore files, they are not showing up in the command.

… first: thanks for the action!

Where do I have to put the .lftp_ignore File and how should the syntax inside looks like?

I have a suggestion. Is it possible to add an input parameter similar to onlyNewer but instead of uploading files with a more recent modification date upload files if the modification date has simply changed?

In my case, I'm using this in a workflow to deploy theme files to WordPress. By default or setting onlyNewer to true speeds up the workflow run time, but the issue I have is if someone was to go into the WordPress theme file editor and directly make changes to a file, that file would now have a more recent modification date to the file in the source repository. This means when running the workflow and deploying, that file won't upload, the changes to that file will persist and will never be in sync until a new commit modifies that source file and makes it 'newer'.

To ensure the theme files on WordPress are always 100% in sync with the source repository, I could set onlyNewer to false but that would increase the workflow run time as now every file has to be uploaded again regardless of whether it has changed or not.

I guess just the possibility of deployed files not actually being deployed in this scenario made me think of this. Maybe it's a bit of an edge case though, so just using onlyNewer false even if it takes longer would be best to avoid the possibility? Just a suggestion anyway.

Hi everyone,

I read the section https://github.com/pressidium/lftp-mirror-action#restoring-modification-times, but I'm not sure I understand it correctly. Since I still encounter the issue that all my files are being uploaded every time, even after adding "onlyNewer: true". I'm also not sure if I need to add "fetch-depth: 0" and if this is connected to the issue. It added it and still same issue with uploading all files instead of only newer files.

Please see my main.yaml below. Do you have any suggstions what I am missing?
